VCL ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein vinculin, which is encoded by the VCL gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in cell adhesion and cell matrix adhesion. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 1134 residues, a mass of 123.8 kDa, and is a member of the Vinculin/alpha-catenin protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is reported to have metavinculin is muscle-specific expression. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally acetylated and phosphorylated. The VCL gene has been associated with the disease, Cardiomyopathy. Other alias names for this target include CMH15, HEL114, MV, MVCL, epididymis luminal protein 114, and CMD1W.
Some VCL ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 3.125 pg/mL and as high as 200 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
